I’ve seen posters promoting Patient Safety Week around my hospital and I just…I mean we aren’t even wearing surgical masks. So like what are we doing here.
lol it’s once again Canadian Patient Safety Week and yet hospitals and healthcare facilities and leadership across Canada all pretend that COVID is not predominantly airborne, which causes vast harm to patients because effective protections are not in place.

more context: it’s not true that you can’t get a vaccine next year unless you sign up asap. It is true that the gov’t is incompetent and doesn’t know how to run a website (or a health care system)

Survivorship bias is real. People have thoroughly memory-holed COVID, even those who suffered multiple infections or lengthy post-COVID symptoms.
"I'm done with COVID," patients tell me when I suggest they update their vaccine - including those who get an annual flu shot and are at very high risk.

there’s a thread on reddit right now called “was COVID really that bad?” and it is interesting to read people’s accounts five years out
there seems to be a collective trauma response where people (outside of healthcare workers) don’t remember how many people died
someone called it anticlimactic

Justice Wyant’s report on #CorruptCare states on Page 3 that “unlike a public inquiry, this investigation did not have power to subpoena or hear testimony under oath. As a result, people had the opportunity to decline to be interviewed. Some did.”

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

Dear Alberta and Danielle Smith,
No one wants a new pipeline but YOU. Canada had to bail out the last one you attempted to use and you still don't use it to its full potential.
All you want is Canada to say NO, play victim and push your separation plans as Canada is holding you back.
Fuck Off.

Your view of a topic does not dictate reality. You can have a view and be totally wrong, and when your view puts people in danger, especially kids, you better damn well have something to back it up.
